SETTING

A setting is needed if the mount, as well as the claws, of a setting are worn as claws cannot be soldered onto a feeble base. It can also be used to change the look of a ring by either altering the style or to change the type of metal used e.g. yellow to white gold. The process involves removing any stones from the setting, removing and replacing the old setting and then resetting required stones.

Each setting style we work with is designed to enhance both the beauty of the stones and the appearance of a jewellery piece.

AR Goldsmiths can offer to change or make a wide variety of settings used in the jewellery trade.
